I need help, I'd like to know how big a particular lot of land is in sq ft (so I can convert it into acres) but I'm not the best at math. Here are the dimensions (you can just tell me what to add/multiply by what and I'll do it) 36.92', 67.56', 83.68', 33.54', 95.19' Thanks in advance guys

Just break the pentagon up into 5 triangles. You can then add together the area of the 5 triangles to get the total area.

This problem is indeterminate, meaning that one cannot find an unique answer for the area of this figure with these five lengths given for sides. At least two angles must be known, for example, or at least two diagonals, or some other additional information you can provide. Get the information and ask again.
